    Once you save the OnX maps for offline mode it doesn't use much battery at all on your phone.

    Bobcat Hunting Banned in CA

    I say everyone that bought tags demand a refund if it does go into effect Jan 1st. The regs say it goes until Feb 28th. I paid for it already and I wont be able to use it until after Jan 1st. Put heat on DFW and the state for giving us the shaft yet again. It will never end as long as people...

    Watch your step!!!

    Thats a good sized southern pacific. Ive seen a few while walking around but never a big one. They've all been relatively calm. Only one that wasn't happy was a speckled. He let us know he was there when we were still 20+ feet away. Took pictures of it and they were used on a snake ID website...

    Flying with guns and meat

    Guns are easy, hard sided locking case. Do not use zip ties... some one tried this and was promptly told NO. My brothers and I always use soft sided cooler bags/totes and placed them in the checked bags. We have brought back birds, deer, and fish with no issues. Just freeze it completely if...

    Newbie to hunting

    Welcome! Turkey hunting here is tough, but there are birds taken on public every year. Lots and lots and lots of time in the field, the local nwtf meetings, and the spring turkey tune up. Check out the turkey hunting info pinned on the upland game section too.

    best first hunting rifle

    I have a Tikka T3 lite in 308 paired with a Leupold VX 3i, great rifle. I, too, got it from fine firearms in 2012 I think. I prefer Leupold as well and have the VX 2 on another rifle (don't think they make the VX2 anymore). The Ruger and Savage are good guns too. They'll all last you a long...

    Hey guys, my D16 buck

    Nice buck! I like how you put the orange over his head and on your head, ya hear stories of dumb people with itchy trigger fingers shooting at people carrying out bucks.

    Shotgun Advice

    I have a couple Mossbergs, but like any shotgun they can have their issues. Friend has a 500 that constantly gives him light primer strikes. 2 months ago I was using a family members new 835 and it too was giving me light primer strikes. Their warranty is good though.

    First Duck Hunt

    I have a sneaking suspicion that it will end up being dog food after a couple bites into it. You aren't kidding, we're already hooked!

    First Duck Hunt

    Weather wasn't bad, high 40s during the day high 30s at night. Slight wind first two days. Third day it was low clouds, stronger winds and misting in the afternoon. Those blizzards there can be bad, we were stuck in the house for 3 days several years back with candles and a generator. Power...

    First Duck Hunt

    My brothers and I went to South Dakota this weekend for some waterfowl hunting. We grew up pheasant and deer hunting in South Dakota, but had never duck hunted before anywhere. The first morning we went in blind as we arrived late the night before. One of my brothers managed to get 2 woodies...

    Travel with decoys

    Unfortunately no one that I know of hunts waterfowl there. It's a small rural ag town. Might just try to get 6 teal and 6 mallard decoys back in a hard sided container or cooler. I will check out the inflatables too.

    Travel with decoys

    Cooler could work. Sort of like those Rubbermaid actionpackers but a lot cheaper and a lot easier to find.

    Travel with decoys

    Going back to SD. It's family land and have family there but no one waterfowl hunts. Just pheasant and deer. Otherwise I would see if they wanted to go too, or ask to use theirs. I'm right there with ya on bringing too much stuff.

    Travel with decoys

    Hey guys, Going duck hunting in the Midwest in about a month and had a question about getting the decoys back there. Have any of you taken them on a plane (checked baggage)? I've seen some people say to just have them shipped back and forth. Regardless of which method, we would more than...

    Their taking our land, WTF!

    I think thats just for the contractors on the power line replacement project. Not sure, wouldn't surprise me if it applies to us too.

    Ammo FFL?

    The Supreme Court is our only hope, but I don't think they will take this. They didn't even take Peruta V. San Diego (Concealed carry). CA is definitely a lost cause, especially with the 9th circuit.

    What is this?

    Wow thanks, I'll be sure to return the favor one day ;)
